In recognition of the 100th anniversary of the United States entry into World War I, the Fort Bayard Historic Preservation Society will sponsor a ten part film series this spring. Showings begin on Thursday, Feb. 2, at the Santa Clara National Guard Armory. All presentations begin at 7 p.m. and will feature opening remarks by Dr. Doug Dinwiddie of the FBHPS. Dr. Dinwiddie serves as historian for the group, and is a retired Professor of History from New Mexico State University and Colorado State University. Admission is free, and donations are accepted. Concessions will be available for purchase at the showings.

The film series will consist of both documentaries and Hollywood feature length movies, and will run every Thursday evening from Feb. 2 through April 6. Among the titles are classics such as "All Quiet on the Western Front", "Gallipoli", and "The Lost Battalion". A full list of titles may be seen on the organization's website, www.fortbayard.org. Additional events to commemorate Grant County's role in The Great War are being planned, timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the declaration of war on Germany, April 6th. For additional information, patrons may call 388-4862, or 388-4477.
